    Air in & air out- lets keep engine's cool

    Your funnel idea is a good one. I used a funnel inside a yak 55 (round cowl) with a DLE 55 and it worked great too. Nice job.

    Graupner mz-24

    I pulled the trigger on a 14sg because I was able to trade a deal with a friend. I looked really hard at the mz24 and still considering getting one. Will the Graupner sensors work with Futaba? and will Graupner receivers bind to the 14sg in fhss mode?

    Engine Gurus Unite -> I need HELP!

    Yes but that is not the best way to check because you are holding pressure on the reed. Coat the sealing surface of the carrier with a light film of wd40 and gently lay the reed petal over it and then gently lift it off. You should see a ring of film around the entire reed petal. If you do not...

    Engine Gurus Unite -> I need HELP!

    Just get some solvent like Berrymans at the auto parts store and soak the parts overnight. You can use a sharp knife or the old piston ring to scrape the ring groove in the piston. Avoid scrapping the sides of the piston and cylinder wall. Some discolorations or stains wont hurt a thing.

    The top of the reed carrier shows through the reed but not down the sides. For that side. True it up with sanding on a flat surface.

    Engine Gurus Unite -> I need HELP!

    Looking at the first picture I would think you found your issue. It is not seating properly. I take it you know how to sand the reed carrier. Go ahead and de carbon the engine while your at it since a bowman ring is on its way. Looks like you are well on your way to a happy engine and a happy owner.

    Not personally because of what you said. My skin got hardened by an ex and kids long ago. The KCS will probably be a decent engine but it hurts me that US support in the manufacture of hobby grade goods is mostly gone. Eventually DA wont survive unless he can keep his gov't contracts. And as a...
